“The golf course is their playground,” said Sorenstam. “Sometimes, it’s 36 holes. If it’s a rainstorm, they’re inside having burgers. I can’t ask for any better.”
“We don’t want to put him on a stage where he’s uncomfortable,” said Sorenstam. “I want him to feel like this is fun to be here.”Sorenstam was a multi-sport athlete growing up. She wanted the same for Will, but he’s turned into a golf addict entirely on his own. Will tees it up daily with Ian Poulter’s son Josh and Henrik Stenson’s son Karl. They’re often out with their push carts until dark. If Will doesn’t answer his phone, mom and dad track him by iPhone to cart him back to the house.
Will plays in local U.S. Kids Golf and Space Coast Florida events. Right now, he competes around three weekends a month, which Sorenstam said is plenty. She’ll take a look at his swing and offer some mental advice, but mostly she does what her dad did – she gives him space.“I want that to flow,” she said.
Will wants to play college golf at Stanford, just like his texting buddy Maverick McNealy. The two families hang out together often in Lake Tahoe. Sorenstam wants this game to be a passion for life. She worries about burnout, not because Will is being pushed, but because he doesn’t want to do much else.
Will reports that he has worked mostly on his driver and irons coming into this event, knowing that the yardage would be on the longer side. His short game has always been a strength, and he loves to have putting and chipping competitions with mom.Even as they practiced for a scramble, Will wanted to make sure his shots counted, too. Preferably more of them.
